N99 1024X768

Can you run this sim in 1024X768? I have two Voodoo2's (SLI), I tried changing the sierra.inf file to this setting but it did not take. Anyone try this? Thanks Rick

No, the 3Dfx version of NR1999 runs at 640x480. - Eric

I don't think *any* version runs higher than 640x480, correct?

Remove the -nospam- from the email address. Sorry, I *had* to put it in. I'm receiving more junk mail than ever now.

Correct. - Eric

You talkin' to me, kiddo? ;^) Well, you can call me boy anytime... But you're wrong! Get informed. Wicked3D provides drivers for their V2's that make almost any resolution possible.

Ronald Stoehr wrote Well ok Old'fart ;-D So what your saying is that the polygons could stretch out to make a bigger resolutions ? The graphics would be more sharp, no ? Hmm Im septic, since I think many problems could occur with the 2d***pit maybe, but if you find a fact in this information and prove it, your gonna be a net.hero ;-) - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

Even with the drivers it would seem that you would still be limited to the resolutions supported by the game. In the case of N99, 640x480 is the max, no matter what card or drivers you use. Cheers, Chris

But it IS possible, I'll let the ng know when my copy of N99 arrives... l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Hmm, the fact is MGPR running in higher res than supported on my system, and you're right, the 2D***pit looses quality when rescaled. l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

And after checking out some of the tracks I tried to use the higher resolution with the Wicked3D, and it works! OTOH, N99 doesn't improve a lot with 800x600 or 1024, has quite a frame rat hit and like I mentioned, the 2D***pit gets a little fuzzy. So, I'm a "net.hero", because it works (at all), but will settle for 640x480 nevertheless... ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Ronald Stoehr wrote Wow thanks for the information.... seems that I will download those drivers and "try" them on my Monster 3d II. Hmmm I think we are all really surprised, since about all of us though that the old Papy game engine was stuck in 640x480. Stretching polygons could be an aid for online racing (I really hate when crash happens and you have to guess if those little polygons are sideways or not!).

Until now Wicked3D allows their drivers only to run on their own V2 boards (return of investment ;^), but as H3D closed shop, Metabyte/Wicked3D are going to sell those glasses and probably are offering their V2 drivers to be used on any V2 board. The honor, the glory... ;^) l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Check out > the eyeSCREAM announcment at [link lost in import] Well, if you buy the 3D glasses, you can use the provided drivers on any V2 board. But I don't believe they are giving you just the drivers for free. BTW, the glasses are quite enjoyable... ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
